Magie Ramírez, PhD
Co-Chair of LxG
Magie (she/her) is a Chicana mama from the San Francisco Bay Area and Assistant Professor of Geography at Simon Fraser University. My work explores how Black, Latinx and Indigenous peoples weave more-just futures in and beyond cities. I am honored to take on the role of Co-Chair with Madelaine, and look forward to continuing to grow our community as not only a professional network, but as a necessary space for Latinx scholars to collaborate and affirm one another. Otherwise, I spend my days collaborating in anti-colonial and anti-displacement work in Oakland, CA and Vancouver, BC, and parenting two small humans who teach me the joy in the details.


LATINX GEOGRAPHIES

Diego Martinez-Lugo
Activity Director of LxG
Diego (he/they) is finalizing his Masters in Geography and Mexican American Studies at the University of Arizona and is an Activity Director with the LxGSG. Diego examines how race, power, and space are entangled to co-produce a Chicanx environmental justice which is distinct and place-based. They are thrilled to continue working with LxGSG as a board member to help create an intellectual and academic community where Latinxs can come together to create community and navigate academia.
